Virtual Bridges, Inc. today announced IBM (NYSE: IBM) is featuring
VERDE
within its new System x Infrastructure bundle. Unveiled at the 2012 IBM
Pulse Conference, IBM System x is a full portfolio of hardware and
software solutions including business intelligence, collaboration,
virtual desktop infrastructure, change management and more that work
together to address clients’ business challenges. VERDE, which underpins
the IBM Virtual Desktop for Smart Business, will serve as the System x
VDI solution, enabling organizations to simplify desktop management,
improve security and increase business agility.
As the only VDI Gen2 management solution on the market today, VERDE
gives end users the flexibility to use both Windows and Linux desktops, a
key requirement of IBM. Employees can work from any location, using
whatever device they choose — including tablets, netbooks, laptops and
thin clients. In addition, IT professionals can manage desktops
centrally, reducing the costs and challenges associated with
provisioning, updating and securing highly distributed PC environments.
“IBM’s Virtual Desktop is coming at a perfect time in the market to
address the most significant challenges faced by CIOs — driving higher
efficiency in corporate infrastructure and future-proofing their
infrastructure to anticipate and leverage two rapidly emerging trends,
cloud computing and mobile computing,” said Jim Curtin, CEO of Virtual
Bridges. “Now we’re seeing IBM spearhead desktop transformation by
extending the reach of its VDI solution broadly as part of the System x
bundle. We’re thrilled to be a part of this strategic offering,
addressing the three biggest challenges of VDI Gen1 solutions — cost,
complexity and use case coverage.”
Virtual Bridges VERDE continues to serve as the cornerstone of IBM’s
Virtual Desktop for Smart Business 6.0 offering. The two companies also
recently partnered to deploy Virtual Bridges VERDE across thousands of
desktops at Panasonic, spanning locations across India, Vietnam, the
Philippines and the Republic of Singapore.
